Cattle Drive Requirements:

You must be physically fit and able to participate on this cattle drive. Unless you fall off of your horse, you will be expected to complete the cattle drive as a member of the crew. The following paragraph from the book "The Texan A Story of the Cattle Country"  by James B. Hendryx, 1880-1963, illustrates what we experience on the open range.

"No. It ain't wrong. It's hard, an' it's cruel, maybe, an' brutal. But it's right. It ain't a country for weaklings--the cow country ain't. It's a country where, every now an' then, a man comes square up against something that he's got to do. An' that something is apt as not to be just what he don't want to do. If he does it, he's a man, an' the cow country needs him. If he don't do it, he passes on to where there's room for his kind--an' the cow country don't miss him. A man earns his place here, it ain't made for him--often he earns the name by which he's called. I reckon it's the same all over--only this is rawer."

If you have doubts about being able to complete the requirements of the cattle drives, please know that you are always welcome at Burnt Well for a regular ranch stay.  There, we can tailor your stay to your needs and wishes. Our regular ranch stays are much more laid back and we are able to be more flexible, unlike our cattle drives.
